Fwd: [Postcards from Manila] #307 Morning Boats

[Bobby Wong Jr.]

A cool morning breeze... the musty scent of salt in the air... the soft and gentle glow of a resurgent sun... these are just some of my favorite things when photographing along our coasts. But like a tune you can't get out of your head... they haunt you no end... in your dreams and daydreams... until you capitulate and find your way back... to re-live the moment and surrender to its siren call. I'm back.

We were in San Jose de Buenavista in Antique, a narrow spit of a place trapped between a mountain range and the Sulu sea. We came to photograph her rugged landscape and the folks along her coasts. Tag along with me as I explore this land for the first time. Enjoy.

Pixel-peepers: A west-facing coastline usually meant dawns would be uneventful, because morning light would come too late, with none of the warm colors of the wee hours. But not here. I did say it was a narrow spit of land. I wasn't kidding.

You will not be disappointed. (All my images are provided gratis to help showcase the beauty of our country. But if you feel generous, help me uplift the lives of the Children of Payatas.  No donation is too big or too small. Get in touch with Fr.
